I had the exact same thing happen to me which I talk about in a post a few above your's. I didn't have luck finding a way to re calibrate/compensate for the bend in the arm so I just took it apart some and bent it back. I slowly got it back pretty much to where it was after using a combination of my hand, vise grips and needle nose pliers. I put tape on the pliers as to mar the aluminum arm as little as possible. I am happy with the results, a virtually strait arm again, slight scratches on arm from pliers and NOT having to wait weeks/months do deal with DJI to help me out. Good luck.

I wrote back asking them it please fix it or replace as IMHO this should be covered by the warranty. Will update this post when they respond.

I'm curious as to why you believe bending your gimbal arm, by admittedly crashing, would be covered under warranty? If you clumsily parked your car, damaging it by swiping a fence, would you believe the dealer responsible to repair the damage under warranty?
